Inversions by Agnese https://padlet.com/agneseziba/s6yem080vdmbrsk Nerea, Olatz, Nora, Celia, Oihane en-us 2022-04-29 14:24:48 UTC 2022-05-02 14:43:29 UTC hello@padlet.com HOW agneseziba https://padlet.com/agneseziba/s6yem080vdmbrsk/wish/2164435493 We just move the verb to before the subject. If there's more than one verb, because a verb tense has auxiliary verbs for example, we move the first verb.

Normal sentence: You are tired. (The subject is 'you'. It's before the verb 'are'.)

Question form: Are you tired? (The verb 'are' is before the subject 'you'. They have changed places. This is called inversion.)]]> 2022-04-29 14:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/agneseziba/s6yem080vdmbrsk/wish/2164435998 NEGATIVE agneseziba https://padlet.com/agneseziba/s6yem080vdmbrsk/wish/2164436397 Usually, we put the expression at the beginning of the sentence to emphasise what we're saying. It makes our sentence sound surprising or striking or unusual. It´s also formal. If you don't want to give this impression, you can put the negative expression later in the sentence in the normal way:
Seldom have I seen such beautiful work.
('Seldom' is at the beginning, so we use inversion. This sentence emphasizes what beautiful work it is.)

Negative adverbs and adverb phrases that we often use:
- Rarely | Rarely will you hear such beautiful music.
- Hardly | Hardly had I got into bed when the telephone rang.
- Never | Never had she seen such a beautiful sight before.

For example:
- Normal conditional: If I had been there, this problem wouldn't have happened.
- Conditional with inversion: Had I been there, this problem wouldn't have happened.]]> 2022-04-29 14:51:48 UTC https://padlet.com/agneseziba/s6yem080vdmbrsk/wish/2164436658
